Why is that people sell these for more than they cost? I think that you can get one for $350-360 w/coupon at Tower. I'm considering buying one. What makes them so much better than anything else? I for one run outdoors and would buy the aluminum chassis because CF would get pretty torn up after a a single battery pack. I'm also curious to see how these do with the Schelle chassis.

What has made the car more enjoyable for me is the reliability. I have finished all but one race with this car , which I cannot say for the other 4 wheelers I have owned. I like the shock towers , and I really like the way the arms are attached to the bulkheads. The screw arrangement he came up with is pretty strong , adjustable , and pretty quick to work on . I like the arms too , really strong so far. I have slop in my rear arms finally , but I bought the car used and have no idea how much time is really on them. I have the shorty config on the car , and run it on a small clay track with a 5.5 on wed nights . Every other time I run the car , its on a large outdoor 1/8 track and I change nothing but tires and add timing to the esc. The parts are cheap in my opinion, and I am impressed with the fit and finish of most of the car. I have a chassis skin on the car and have no issues outdoors with the carbon and its a abrasive track.

What I don't like is a short list ....

I hate the stock body , the stock spur gear, the stock shock caps, and motor mount. The slop in the car actually doesn't bother me , but it sure makes others think you bought a pos. Which is funny because the 1/8 losi's are sloppy and people think they are gold ... go figure.

I run on a carpet track and this past weekend we had our Halloween Havoc race. I haven't got much time on the carpet as I would have like to have had. My wheeler has pretty much the Tessman setup on it except for a couple of different tweaks for the track. I noticed that it wants to 3 wheel bad! All the time! and I am constantly fight it. My question is would it be better to get the new HB +6mm carbon chassis with the thicker top decks? Or would it be better to get an aluminum chassis? Like the + 4 Schelle, or Avid? And would changing the chassis help slow down the weight transfer? Please and thank you for any advice!

Schelle also makes a +4 carbon chassis.

I understand a longer stiffer chassis is best on carpet, but the 3 wheel problem your having might be due to sway bars not having enough play. Move collars in more and make sure free to move under full compression.
